Meet with Karu

On June 15th afternoon, we met Dr Karu of Peradeniya University of Sri Lanka, for research updating and a discussion about a new ANSO proposal. Huanfang gave a presentation updating the CKDu ancient water tank (AWT) results, which is fascinating. We want to work on more sediment cores and more analytes to further confirm the story. We then had a discussion on possible topic for the new ANSO proposal which will be submitted in mid July from the Sri Lankan side. Li Jun, Guangcai, Huanfang attended the meeting; Shizhen chaired the meeting. It is wonderful to meet old friend again, although online.

Prof. Wanida Jinsart visited the group

During 2nd~7th July, two visitors from Chulalongkorn University (Thailand), Prof. Wanida Jinsart and her Master student, Nareerat Punvitayakul (Neng), visited our group. This is the first time for them to visit our institution and they are very excited to walk through the SKLOG labs, with the companion of Dr. Zhong. Prof. Wanida also spoke highly on our well-equipped labs. During the visit, she gave a talk on “air pollution and health effects”, introducing the research progress on air quality and human health study in Thailand. Meanwhile, Jiaqi and Jiao Tang also presented their PhD projects to Prof. Wanida and had helpful discussions. In spare time, they also explored the city and visited some tourist sites, including Canton Tower, Chen Clan Temple and Beijing road.

Neng will stay with us for another month to analyze the PAHs and PCBs in passive air samples from Bangkok and Chiengmai, under the help of Lele.  This is also the main part of her master thesis.  We wish she had a great time here.
